Listening to the conversation between the cultivators, Lu Ye gradually understood the whole story.
Just as he thought, after he fell into the water and disappeared, Yi Yi and Hu Po went to find a place to heal their wounds. In the end, they were discovered by the three Third-Order cultivators. However, the spirit and tiger duo were already experienced in dealing with such situations, so they didn't panic at all. They cooperated with each other and scared the three Third-Order cultivators away. From the way they even handed over their Storage Bags, they should have been quite frightened.
However, after the three of them returned, they told the Fifth-Order Senior Brother Zhou about what happened. Senior Brother Zhou vaguely sensed that something was wrong and brought the three of them to find Hu Po. As for the Fourth-Order woman, she should have been specially invited by Senior Brother Zhou. She could use the Beast Taming Ring Spirit Artifact, which was extremely useful in dealing with Monster Beasts.
Such a five-person team found Hu Po again. Perhaps after some probing, Senior Brother Zhou determined that Hu Po was just for show and decisively took action.
Fortunately, they wanted to capture Hu Po alive and didn't kill him. Otherwise, Hu Po would have been dead long ago.
These days, Lu Ye had fed Hu Po a lot of Spirit Accumulation Pills, and he ate and drank good food every day. Hu Po's strength had increased a lot compared to before, but he was only equivalent to a cultivator between the Second-Order and Third-Order. Even with Yi Yi's help, he was definitely not a match for these cultivators. Senior Brother Zhou alone could easily take care of them.
Hu Po fell to the ground and tried his best to get up, but the Beast Taming Ring seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. Although Hu Po stood up with difficulty, his head was still on the ground and he couldn't move for a while. A hoarse roar came from his throat again.
With a flash of light, Yi Yi's figure jumped out of Hu Po's body. She angrily rushed towards the female cultivator and shouted, "Let go of Hu Po!"
Seeing Hu Po suffer, even though she knew that her appearance was like a moth flying into a flame, she couldn't bear it anymore.
However, just as she rushed out a few steps, her expression froze. Her eyes were filled with surprise, as if she had seen something. In the next moment, she hurriedly turned back and rushed into Hu Po's body, disappearing from sight.
Senior Brother Zhou had already flashed over swiftly with the intention of repelling this Companion Puppet Spirit. Unexpectedly, the Companion Puppet Spirit had actually returned, causing him to be completely bewildered.
But following Yiyi's shout, the light from the Beast Taming Collar around Hu Po's neck slowly faded away. Without the Beast Taming Collar's suppression, Hu Po slowly raised his head. His amber tiger eyes shone with a demonic luster, and a faint golden demonic energy circled around his body, making him look murderous. The various encounters just now had undoubtedly stimulated his ferocious nature.
"Senior Sister Yu, hurry up and activate the Beast Taming Collar!" A Third-Order hurriedly shouted.
However, Senior Sister Yu did not react in the slightest.
Senior Brother Zhou looked over in confusion. What he saw caused his face to darken.
This was because, at some point in time, there was a person standing behind Senior Sister Yu. The other party was less than two feet away from Senior Sister Yu, and there was a sharp weapon in his hand. That sharp weapon was pressed against Senior Sister Yu's back. Senior Sister Yu stood in place with a pale face, not daring to move.
Their eyes met, and Senior Sister Yu shouted to Senior Brother Zhou, "Senior Brother, save me …"
Only at this moment did a faint smell of blood fill the air.
The three Third-Order cultivators finally realized that something was wrong and turned their heads to see Lu Ye standing behind Senior Sister Yu. One of them shouted, "Who are you? Release Senior Sister Yu, or my Serene Cloud Mountain will not let this matter rest! " As he shouted, he pushed his Spirit Energy to investigate the aura around Lu Ye's body, but he found nothing. There was no aura at all. His heart thumped as he wondered if Lu Ye was using some kind of Spirit Artifact to cover up his aura or some kind of Spirit Talisman.
If it was the latter, then it would be fine, but if it was the former, then Lu Ye's origin might be extraordinary.
Just as he was feeling suspicious, Senior Brother Zhou ground his teeth and cursed, "Idiot, shut up!"
Before the Third-Order cultivator could figure out why Senior Brother Zhou scolded him, Lu Ye, who was standing behind Senior Sister Yu, showed a look of relief, "Serene Cloud Mountain …"
He had seen this force on the map before. It was a Ninth-Grade Sect that belonged to the Myriad Demon Ridge camp. Originally, he wasn't sure which camp these people belonged to, but they used the name of their Sect to scare him, which was obviously a big mistake.
The reason why Senior Brother Zhou scolded them was because of this. When two unfamiliar cultivators met, it was extremely unwise to rashly expose one's identity before figuring out which camp the other party belonged to.
This Third-Order cultivator was obviously inexperienced on the battlefield and had never been beaten by the cultivation world.
Lu Ye originally had some misgivings about how to deal with them if they were from Grand Heaven Alliance, but even if they were from the same camp, if he jumped out and told them that Hu Po was his, they would most likely ignore him.
So, no matter which camp the other party belonged to, Lu Ye had to subdue one of them first. Only then would he have the qualifications to talk to them. The reason why he chose Senior Sister Yu was because she was concentrating on the Beast Taming Ring, so he had the highest chance of success if he launched a sneak attack.
As for Senior Brother Zhou, he was a Fifth-Order cultivator. There was a difference of two Orders between them, so Lu Ye didn't have much confidence.
Lu Ye didn't put his saber on the other party's neck because there were too many uncertainties. The other party was a Fourth-Order cultivator, so he might have a way to escape.
Therefore, he stealthily snuck behind Senior Martial Sister Yu and decisively stabbed her in the back. He placed one hand on her shoulder, and the tip of the long saber was only two inches away from her heart!
If the other party wanted to live, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.
It could be said that when Lu Ye drew his saber, no matter which camp the other party belonged to, this enmity had already been formed.
But he had no other choice. If he wanted to save Hu Po, it was useless to rely on his mouth to reason. The weapon in his hand was the strongest reason.
But now that he knew the other party was from Serene Cloud Mountain, Lu Ye no longer had any concerns.
* Chi … * With a soft sound, the saber that had pierced Senior Sister Yu's chest came out of her body. The saber was stained with blood, and drops of blood dripped from the tip of the saber.
Senior Sister Yu's pupils shrank and dilated as she reached out to grab Senior Brother Zhou, shouting, "Senior Brother, save …"
Lu Ye kicked her in the back and pulled out his saber, kicking her towards Senior Brother Zhou.
Senior Brother Zhou's cultivation was the highest, so his reaction was also the fastest. Almost at the same moment Lu Ye made his move, he pulled out the sword at his waist. The soil under his feet flew up as he rushed towards Lu Ye, his body releasing a bright light. His eyes were bloodshot as he grit his teeth and shouted, "You court death!"
He really didn't expect this person to directly kill Senior Sister Yu. This kind of decisiveness made his heart go cold.
His forward momentum was interrupted by Senior Sister Yu, who was rushing towards him. He hurriedly caught her, but before he could check whether she was dead or alive, a shadow covered her.
Senior Martial Brother Zhou raised his head and looked. The last thing that entered his eyes was a large spinning bell. The spirit aura on the surface of the large bell converged into a belt of light that revolved around him. It descended from the sky and enveloped him tightly.
